So Satan answered the Lord and said, “From ^(B)going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it.”

⁸ Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you ^[c]considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and ^[d]shuns evil?”

^6 (H)And the Lord said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life.”
